Low fat Lemonade Scones
These ‘honey and soda’ scones are a low fat version of traditional lemonade scones - they’re better for you, and taste just as good!
Ingredients:
*4 cups self-raising flour
*1 cup soda water
*1 cup evaporated milk
*2 tablespoons runny honey
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Sift flour in a bowl. Add soda water, evaporated milk and honey, and stir gently until just combined into a soft dough.
2. Turn dough onto a board. Don’t overwork it, or scones will be heavy. Gently pat dough into an even thickness. Cut in squares, or use a cutter to make rounds.
3. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until risen and golden on top. Serve warm with jam.
Tip: If you have a pizza cutter, use this to divide the dough for your scones. It works perfectly and makes for nice, light, high scones!
Recipe Information:
Portions: makes 16
Time to make: 20 minutes
Total cost of all ingredients: $4.80 / $0.30 per serve
Variations:
*For date and lemon scones, omit the honey, and add 3/4 cup chopped dates and zest of 1 lemon. Glaze the top of the scones with a mix of leftover evaporated milk and honey.
*For tasty savoury scones, use 3/4 cup evaporated milk and 250ml lite beer. Add 2 tablespoons grated parmesan and 1/4 cup grated edam cheese.

I don’t usually make this many scones but will try this recipe next time I want a lot, it looks good. My usual recipe is just one cup of S/R flour with sweet or savoury additions like sugar/sultanas or oregano/cheese and enough milk or water to bring the dough together then I just tear it into roundish blobs and bake for ten minutes in a 200dg oven. Not fancy or pretty but sooo good. The pizza cutter tip above is great, I’ll try that next time I make my marshmallow chocky scrolls.  Posted by Bobannie "on" 10/20 "at"04:12 PM |
